While they may have a pair, they more likely have moderate suited connectors (like 10J) which multiplies their draws, two high cards (like KJ, 10A), or an A/low card suited. Yes, your calling opponent(s) may have a pair, but it is not as likely as the other hands I have suggested. Countless hours of watching all levels of players in televised tournaments where hole-cards are shown has convinced me that a pair is not the norm. And, if they do have a pair, but only call, it would generally not be a strong pair, such at 10’s or better.
